Retirement Communities in North Carolina Defined

North Carolina retirement communities are designed for those that can lead an independent life with no medical assistance. Unlike assisted living facilities or nursing homes, these facilities are not regulated by the government; therefore they are not designed for those that require medical or personal care. Residents of retirement homes must be able to receive medical care off site as nurses are not at these facilities.

Retirees over the age of 55 who are in good health will find that retirement communities provide all the basic amenities that they need. For those that need more care, assisted living and nursing homes with 24/7 care are the better choice.
